    Was there separate Boat trains for First, Second and Third Class passengers?

    Did the Southampton boat train have one train for the every class, or 2 or 3 separate trains for the classes? Also when did these trains depart Waterloo and arrive at Southampton Docks, and if any Passenger missed their trains, please? Thanks.

    Titanic's Boat Train Driver?

    At the current moment, I'm trying to find out if I have any possible connection to officer widle's sister - officer Wilde's sister married a Mr. Jones . Although I highly doubt that I am, whilst doing so, I came across another possible connection to the Titanic. My Dear Aunt is still in...

    Boat Train Motive Power

    I'm not sure if this would be better here or on a British railfan site, but what would have been a reasonable approximation of LSWR's motive power on boat trains circa 1912? There's at least one photo pre-grouping that implies that it's a T9, but I'm not sure if this was always the case. Thanks...

    Boat train

    I know there was the Boat Train, but that seems to go as far as London. How would (especially a third class passenger) get from home (especially in Sweden) to Southampton to board the boat? Would they take a train the whole way? Obviously they weren't walking or driving, that's the only option I...

According to ET the first-class boat train arrived in Southampton at 9:30 A.M. and the second- and third-class train...

    The London-Southampton boat train

    I'm writing a fictional story set on the Titanic (not for publication) and trying to be as accurate as possible. Does anyone know what Southampton station the train pulled into? Thanks, AJSimon

    Titanic Boat Train

    I can't seem to find a couple of details about the train. Every source is in agreement that it departed Waterloo, but I can't figure out what line it ran on. In A Night to Remember, passengers are shown in coaches with GWR embroidered on the antimacassars,* which I should think would require a...

    Titanic Boat Train

    Sorry to start my first posting here with a question! I'm interested in the boat train(s?) that ran from Waterloo to Southampton to convey passengers to the Titanic. There is a photo in the Father Browne collection showing the boat train at Waterloo. I'd like to take the same photograph...

    Which Astor is this chap

    We've all seen the photograph of Waterloo Station's Titanic Boat Train, most notably prominent in Geoffrey Marcus' excellent book Maiden Voyage. But who is this chap in the picture, standing prominent to the left, in a black suit with the bowler. He is often identified as Col. JJ Astor, but this...
